There was a lot of discussion about SD card wear on their forum a few years ago and the solution they found seems to work as there haven't been any problems related to SD card wear for a few years. Although I'll probably get rid of the RF interface between the pi and the emonTx - that wasn't the best solution. Before removing the cover panels, turn off the main breaker which may or may not be in your panel or elsewhere in your house. As you connect each in the app, you’ll be able to note what that breaker is for monitoring usage in the app. My home has a very small electrical panel, so the electrician faced a challenge getting all the sensors and wires to fit, as you’ll in the next picture.

On monitoring individual circuits, I can see the need if you suspect your Ecodan is using a lot when idle but for everything else, read the back of the device and understand what each item you turn on uses. I’ve been using the Emporia Vue for a few months now and it’s made me very conscious about power usage.

Of course if you want to monitor individual circuits then you'd need something else - but the Emporia system seems to be a less useful system than emonPi or the emoncms software on your own system with an emonTx.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The Emporia Vue can warn you of anomalies in power consumption, providing valuable clues that an appliance might be malfunctioning or is about to fail. With some tweaking of habits and better integration with further gadgets, the associated numbers will go up.

I know these devices hold the data on a cloud, with potential future risks that that poses but still they seem the best option at the moment. I have an 'entities' card set up in one of my dashboard views and it shows individual circuits and individual daily power usage (and total daily power usage). And, in fact, it also provides second-by-second, minute-by-minute, day-to-day, month-to-month, and year-to-year data. But, if the company’s Emporia Gen 2 Vue home energy monitor is anything to go by, recently sent to Android Headlines for review, it really should be. Here’s how that process would work: Once you’ve labeled the smart plug according to what’s plugged into it, you could go into the app and slot the smart plug under whichever circuit it’s on.The Vue monitors the total energy use and solar net metering of your home through a simple iOS or Android app.

So, we have an Emporia device that is on the network and we have a configuration file set up on the Intel computer. The moment you start thinking about hybrid inverters (solark/eg4/luxpower AIO), it simply doesn't work. Your monthly bill gives you the overall picture, but if you’re looking for more detailed info you need a different solution. You’ll be able to hear the monitor power on and then you can proceed with setting up the monitor via the app and connecting it to your WiFi.Pair the Emporia Vue with the Emporia Smart Home Energy Management system to automate your energy use and storage to meet your needs, comfort, and budget. I have my emporia vue 2 on an isolated VLAN which doesn't have internet access, so sntp probably wasn't working (my DHCP server hands out local ntp server info, but I think most devices ignore that). We're ready to be a part of it with our smart charging features, ranging from solar optimisation to built-in energy management and payment options for public charging. Does anyone know of any monitoring/control solution out there that would allow this kind of protocol to be implemented? You can also view this information in the app on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis, using a pop-out scrolling tool.

This product is particularly useful because it places sensors on 16 individual circuits as well as your mains, and its readings can be supplemented with Emporia’s own smart plugs. An applicant can apply for subsequent vouchers for additional chargepoints and sites, as long as their cumulative total does not exceed 20 sockets. Ideally I’d like to use some device like these to program a master/slave load-smoothing control protocol so that when the master fridge is on, all others are switched off and once the master fridge turns off, the first slave fridge is allowed to turn on (blocking all lower-priority loads), etc. Does this device measure the live voltage or make a voltage assumption to calculate the power level?APPLIANCE MONITORING WITHOUT GUESSWORK: Comes with eight 50A sensors to accurately monitor your air conditioner, furnace, water heater, washer, dryer, range, etc. Michael is TechHive's lead editor, with 30+ years of experience covering the tech industry, focusing on the smart home, home audio, and home theater.
